Do I need to support the plumbing coming from the overflow? I’m doing bean animal so there are a lot of pvc. But it coming straight down and forward.

Yes, I would. If you bump it while cleaning that is a lot of torque on the overflow and bulkhead. Not to mention vibration and whatnot from normal use. That would be a sucky thing to have break...

How would I go about supporting it? It’s not going on this stand. Ps it’s not done yet.

What stand is it going on? Is it similar? If yes, i would drill 3/8 hole and get some stainless all-thread and some straps. Kinds like this:

But with a nut/ washer on either side where it goes through the stand. They make rubber lined ones too, that would be preferred.

Look Into "Clic" Clips - These are all plastic clips designed to hold pipes. You might have to create a spacer to mount them to that then attaches to the stand to create a standoff.

Yep, that would work. Sometimes i get stuck in industrial mode....
